#Luke 23

[nsfwbible]

‘Are you not the Messiah?’

Two convicts are crucified alongside Jesus in the canonical gospels. But only Luke narrates their words: “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” one of the dying criminals mockingly asks. The other convict rebukes him, “for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

The images here, details from a 15th century painting in the Städel Museum, portray the first convict with a demon at his mouth extracting his soul.

When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified Him there … (Luke 23:33)

LUKE/ACTS S.O.A.P. ~ LUKE 23

Tuesday, 10/22/24

SCRIPTURE:

But they objected strenuously, saying, “He agitates the people with His teaching throughout Judea—starting from Galilee all the way here.” ~ Luke 23:5

OBSERVATION:

People have objected strenuously since day 1...

...saying He agitates - 

disturbs 

troubles

makes nervous

...the people - me...

...starting from Galilee...

...all the way here...

...in the US...

...in Georgia...

...in Atlanta...

...in my house...

...me...

He was disrupting the "status quo" of the Jewish elite...

But what about my "status quo"?

How do my actions support this accusation?

Do His teachings disturb me, trouble me, make me nervous about what I do and say and think?

APPLICATION:

Quit objecting...

Stay "agitated"...

PRAYER:

Lord Father God - May Your Holy Spirit keep me from being satisfied with what I say and do and think - may my life be one of dissatisfaction with anything that is not of and through You - please forgive my objections and excuses for my distractedness and selfishness - In Jesus's Name, and for Your honor and praise for Your grace and mercy...

Yours - in, through, and by His grace...

Church notes - 7th April 2023

7th Good Friday Matthew 27:19 - 31 Mark 15:23 - 32 Luke 23:44 - 49

Fog of war Jesus sent to the Cross after a series of farcical trials. There was uncertainty and doubt Luke 23:44, 45

Genesis 1:1 Darkness before Creation.

John 3:19 - 21

Darkness hides what is in people's hearts.

God never abandons you to your darkness.

John 1:8

It is Finished!

The fog of war continues, but

Jesus has paid our debt. He is the Light.

Never doubt that Jesus has the victory.

ENCOUNTERS / I ASSURE YOU (Lk. 23:26-43)

ENCOUNTERS / I ASSURE YOU ‘In the midst of all the darkness, ugliness, mockery, condemnation, hatred and cruelty which infests this scene, this want-to-be renegade the hears truly rebellious yell of Divine forgiveness...'

BLACK SAILS (2014-2017) LUKE ARNOLD as JOHN SILVER & RICHARD WRIGHT-FIRTH as MULDOON

They say the worst of it don't last long. What the water does to you once it's got you. It makes you cold, makes you scared. It shows you things. Bad things. But then it warms you. It settles you. It shows you the places you've been. Like the people you've loved. They're all there waiting for you. It doesn't sound so bad.

“Well, having to eat five pieces of cake in a single day isn’t as easy as you might imagine… Though Beel would probably have no problem at all handling that much.”

“If you’re going to complain, then I’m not giving you any of this, Simeon!”

“Ooh…sorry Luke. I take back what I said. I’d like some, please.”

— Simeon and Luke (Chapter 23-7)

LUKE S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 23

Wednesday, 3/27/24

Jumping into Luke's recounting of Passion Week... but only one chapter this time... 😉

SCRIPTURE:

Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment. ~ Luke 23:56

OBSERVATION:

They - the women who followed Him - returned from the pain and, well, horror, of watching His crucifixion... and prepared what was required - what was expected - and prepared to serve Him in (what they assumed to be) the best and final way they could...

And then they "...rested on the Sabbath..." - recalling God's Word (the commandment)...

...that His Word and Will take precedence... over what I assume is the right thing to do...

Their reaction and actions were what was expected...

What God did (and does) can often be what I least expect...

APPLICATION:

Follow His commandments... despite circumstances...

Serve Him in the best way(s) I can... 

But be prepared for His unexpectedness... 

PRAYER:

Father God - Accept my doing what's expected as a part of my trying to surrender my will for Yours, and I ask that Your Holy Spirit remind me to expect Your unexpected and be joyfully ready for what You have in store... I Jesus's Name, Father, and for Your glory above all... 

Tomorrow we'll pick up at Luke 24...

Expecting His unexpected - with you and for us all...

Luke Skywalker x Reader

Luke is not the type of guy to ask you to change positions or tell you to do something. He’s strong enough to make you do it himself.

He easily moves your body around as if it was nothing, throwing you to the bed and prying you legs open to push them all the way up to your chest, put you on all fours and lifting your ass, pin your hands above your head or behind your back, or shove you to your knees to suck his cock.

Luke finds it absolutely endearing to have such control over you. And you find it really hot to be used around by a powerful jedi so effortlessly.

You like it, he’s sure of it because he can read your thoughts about how much you enjoy it, specially when you are riding him and you get tired, just so he can grab your hips and make you bounce on his cock like a toy.
